Hi,

The Xi repository for v2.3 is now public. The information is updated here:

http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PrebuiltBinaries#Automatically_Built_Packages

Xi now modifies the version string in the Dovecot sources. This way dovecot -n output includes the Xi package version. This is currently only true for the v2.3 packages though.

I am still testing a new v2.2 builder that follows both the master and latest release branch. Packages from the release branch are published in a separate repository, so that a more stable package stream is obtained; it is only updated when the developers start working on making a release. The intermittent beta or rc release tags on that release branch are recognized and reflected in the package versions. If a new release branch is detected, the the development packages for the master branch get an alpha version with a lower version digit that is one higher than the upcoming release. For example, when a release-2.2.25 branch is created, packages from the master branch will get version 2.2.26~alpha0-1 in anticipation of the next release in this series. Packages from the release branch will have version 2.2.25~beta0-1 until the first release tag is seen.

Regards,

Stephan.
